SpeedwayFan91 101 Posted October 1, 2023 Lawson or Iversen are the only 2 you could choose tbh… Iversen rides Foxhall pretty well and was on fire in the last few meetings, but I think they’ll use Lawman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a pure neutral looking to see a decent final ..I have opinion that Harris won't score that many this time based upon the opposition he's against, nothing more nothing less.No idea what the big uproar and drama is about expressing that view Well it looks like we will never know as it seems Harris cant ride now.

I'm half expecting with how the regs seem to be interpreted lately that it is announced that Harris has to honour his guest booking and Glasgow have to find their own guest 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s your promoter who clearly has a win at all costs attitude regardless of the integrity of his choices. Should we be surprised though? After all this is the bloke who insisted his nephew who wasn’t far off qualifying for a testimonial, should be eligible for a “rising star” role as he (wrongly as it turned out) assumed it would give his team a huge advantage!

TTT 1,227 Posted October 1, 2023 Sheffield will probably pull another fast one by booking Kurtz to guest now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I think it's getting to heat four and then having to come back again to show the re-staging, costs 5 figures Edited October 1, 2023 by SPEEDY69 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't checked. As mentioned, I was informed by the BSPL Office that Lambert can ride because his 2019 average is considered to be an Established MA.

Roger Jacobs 554 Posted October 1, 2023 Here's the reply I received from the BSPA Office: "You have quoted the rule yourself and it does not mention 'assessed', it says 'have an established MA' and Robert Lambert DOES have an established average, from 2019, he just hasn't done enough meetings to update that for this season. Without appearing to be too long winded, that rule is with regards riders who have never had an established MA, hence it does not mention 'assessed'. I believe other riders in a similar position have guested this season, but nobody has queried that? I don't want to drone on but what if a rider is riding on his converted CL MA and has that * by his name, have they ever not been able to guest? Next season that box will be changed as it is obviously misleading when it suits!" Reading that last sentence, I wasn't sure wether to laugh or have a fit of hysterics 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
